Free Plants from Cuttings

Plotted my sedum cuttings today. Also some spray carnation cuttings/side shoots.

In the spirit of "lockdown gardening" I'm shoved some Bay tree cuttings in a big pot and potted up some well rooted rosemary cuttings.

I found a volunteer parsley seedling in the toms I've planted today. I popped it in a pot to give it some care, notwithstanding the fact if a ¼ tray of parsley germinating. There'll be many parsley plants for the lock down swap. Unfortunately I've no one to swap with

Let me know how you get on with your bay cuttings. I’ve tried many different time and methods without success. I would love to know the secret. I’d love a successful cutting from my old veg garden.

I've grown 2 bay trees from cuttings - one is at least 30' tall!! The other one has been kept trimmed so its only about 8' high - and that's plenty big enough. I'm sure I didn't do anything special to the cuttings. just the usual strip off the lower leaves and bung them in a pot of compost..Maybe keep the pot in a plastic bag to stop the leaves from drying out?

The other day i potted up some Sage cutting my plant looked tall, straggly and mostly dead. The cuttings rooted in water much quicker than I expected.

I'm digging over a bed and there are some wallflowers, obviously gone over. Is there any point in taking cuttings before I bin them, rather than sowing new ones? From what i remember they weren't anything special, they've just got a lot of new green growth.

Try it and see. I've only taken cuttings from perennial wallflowers as I don't often have any annual ones to play with. Actually, I don't have any perennial ones either now. So just ignore me.

I was going to give it a go anyway, unless one of you warned against it,  although I'm dreadful at looking after cuttings.  I'll sow some as well. I've got a rockery perennial yellow one, maybe I'll take cuttings of that,  but where I'll put them will be a challenge if they all take.

I'm growing common sage and Pineapple sage from cuttings - in jamjars. . The common sage has started to root.
